My Recent Jetstar Adventure: Know Your Rights When Flying

Flying from Melbourne to Singapore? Sounds simple, right? Well, not for me. Let me set the stage: I booked a flight with a certain low-cost airline that shall remain nameless (okay, it’s Jetstar). Unfortunately, “tried” is the key word in my story because my flight was canceled at the last minute. To be fair, the reason was entirely valid—it was a Boeing, and it had been diverted to Cairns due to “engineering issues.” Honestly, I’d much rather stay on the ground than board a plane with unresolved “engineering issues,” especially if it’s a Boeing!
